Economic drivers for the laundry market in Asia-Pacific
The Home & Laundry Care market in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is projected to generate revenues of USD 70.85 billion by 2025, with an annual growth rate of 3.39% (CAGR 2025 – 2029). The sector’s largest segment, laundry care, is expected to reach a market volume of USD 41.21 billion in 2025, with revenues on a per capita basis estimated at USD 16.44. Additionally, online sales will contribute a significant 37.1% of total revenue by 2025. 

This growth is further supported by macroeconomic and sector-specific trends in China. In the first half of 2024, domestic tourism in China reached total spending of RMB 2.73 trillion (approximately USD 376 billion), marking a 19% year-on-year increase, highlighting the robust recovery and expansion of the tourism sector. This surge directly impacts related industries, including laundry and textile care, as increased travel drives demand for hospitality laundry services. 

Additionally, the healthcare sector is playing a pivotal role. From January to April 2024, the utilisation rate of hospital beds in China increased to 80.8%, reflecting a 0.2% year-on-year rise. The growing demand for healthcare services has a direct correlation with the laundry and textile care industry, particularly in medical and hygiene-related services, as hospitals and healthcare facilities require reliable, high-volume, and hygienic laundry solutions. 

The sustained growth of the Home & Laundry Care market in the APAC region, driven by rising tourism, healthcare demands, and evolving consumer preferences, underscores the increasing importance of innovative and efficient laundry practices. TXCA&CLE is uniquely positioned to address these trends, offering a platform for industry professionals to explore state-of-the-art technologies, sustainable practices, and tailored solutions that meet the region’s growing and diverse needs.
